DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the disclosure clearer, the disclosure is further described in detail in combination with drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are merely intended for explaining rather than limiting the disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a driving method for a liquid crystal display device in one embodiment. The liquid crystal display device may be a TN, OCB, VA type or curve surface liquid crystal display device, but not limited thereto. The liquid crystal display device can apply straight down backlight, and a backlight source may be white light, an RGB three-color light source, an RGBW four-color light source or an RGBY four-color light source, but not limited thereto. The driving method is also suitable for a scenario that a display panel of the liquid crystal display device is a curve panel. In the present embodiment, a backlight area of the liquid crystal display device is divided into a plurality of backlight sub-areas, as shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, 90 represents a backlight component (or backlight module).

Referring to FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

S110 displaying each picture with two frame images in sequence.

Each picture frame_N (i.e., a typical frame picture) is displayed with two frame images in sequence, that is, the picture is divided into two images on timing sequence. By dividing the picture on the timing sequence, a frame frequency can be doubled, that is, the original 60 Hz is doubled to 120 Hz. The two frame images are a first frame image (frame_N−1) and a second frame image (frame_N−2) respectively. The picture corresponding to an input signal is displayed for a user by mutual compensation of the first frame image and the second frame image. In the present embodiment, drive voltages of adjacent two sub-pixels on each frame image include a high drive voltage and a low drive voltage, and the drive voltages of each sub-pixel in the first frame image and in the second frame image include a high drive voltage and a low drive voltage. That is, the drive voltage of each sub-pixel of the first frame image is inverted to be the drive voltage for each sub-pixel of the second frame image. The drive voltages for each sub-pixel in the first frame image and the second frame image may be acquired by looking up a lookup table (LUT). Specifically, the liquid crystal display device will prestore the lookup table in a hardware frame buffer. The lookup table is a corresponding relation table of the drive voltage of each sub-pixel in the first frame image and the second frame image corresponding to an input signal and the input signal. Seen from a 8 bit drive signal, input color gray scale values 0-255 of every R/G/B input signal correspond to 256 pairs of high and low voltage signals, and there are 3*256 pairs of high voltage signals RTH/GTH/BTH and low voltage signals RTL/GTL/BTL in total. Therefore, the corresponding high drive voltage and the corresponding low drive voltage can be looked up according to the color gray scale value of each sub-pixel in the input signal, such that the corresponding sub-pixel in the first frame image is driven by the high drive voltage, and the corresponding sub-pixel in the second frame image is driven by the low drive voltage, or the corresponding sub-pixel in the first frame image is driven by the low drive voltage, and the corresponding sub-pixel in the second frame image is driven by the high drive voltage, and meanwhile, the adjacent two sub-pixels are driven by a driving manner of alternate high and low drive voltages, as shown in FIG. 3. Wherein FIG. 4 is a partial enlarged view in a first frame in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged view in a second frame in FIG. 3.

S120 determining backlight brightness adjusting signals of each backlight sub-area according to the drive voltages of a first frame image area and a second frame image area corresponding to each backlight sub-area.

The backlight brightness adjusting signals are configured to perform backlight brightness adjustment on two frame images in a next picture, to reduce a viewing angle color cast of the picture. The backlight brightness adjusting signals are in groups (AM_P1 and AM_P2), to adjust the backlight brightness of the backlight sub-areas corresponding to the first frame image and the second frame image respectively. Besides, a group number of the backlight brightness adjusting signals is same as a variety number of color sub-pixels, to perform independent backlight brightness control on the sub-pixels of various colors. For example, in the present embodiment, the color sub-pixels include red sub-pixels (R sub-pixels), green sub-pixels (G sub-pixels) and blue sub-pixels (B sub-pixels). Therefore, each group of backlight brightness adjusting signals includes an R sub-pixel backlight brightness adjusting signal group, a G sub-pixel backlight brightness adjusting signal group and a B sub-pixel backlight brightness adjusting signal group, to perform independent backlight brightness control on the sub-pixels of various colors in respective backlight sub-areas.

In the present embodiment, a flow of determining the backlight brightness adjusting signals is as shown in FIG. 6, and includes S210 and S220.

S210 counting average drive voltages of the sub-pixels of various colors in the first frame image area and the second frame image area corresponding to each backlight sub-area.

A calculating formula for the average drive voltage of the sub-pixels of each color in the corresponding first frame image area in each backlight sub-area is as follows:


PM_ave1=Ave(PM_n_TL,PM_n+1_TH,PM_n+2_TL, . . . ), n=1,2,3 . . . .

Wherein P represents a target color sub-pixel, M represents a serial number of the backlight sub-area, ave1 represents an average drive voltage value of the first image, and n represents a sequence number of the P sub-pixel in the M backlight sub-area.

Specifically, the average drive voltages for the sub-pixels of various colors are calculated as follows:


RM_ave1=Ave(RM_n_TL,RM_n+1_TH,RM_n+2_TL, . . . ), n=1,2,3 . . . ;


GM_ave1=Ave(GM_n_TH,GM_n+1_TL,GM_n+2_TH, . . . , n=1,2,3 . . . ;


BM_ave1=Ave(BM_n_TL,BM_n+1_TH,BM_n+2_TL, . . . , n=1,2,3 . . . .

S220 solving the backlight brightness adjustment signals according to the average drive voltages, reference backlight brightness signals and reference drive voltages of respective backlight sub-areas.

The reference backlight brightness signal refers to the backlight brightness signal when no compensation of high and low voltages (i.e., a typical driving manner) is required. The reference drive voltage refers to the drive voltage of various sub-pixels when no compensation of high and low voltages is performed. Since the backlight source corresponding to the sub-pixels of various colors in each sub-area is independently controlled, the backlight brightness adjusting signals of the backlight source corresponding to the sub-pixels of various colors in each sub-area need to be solved. A calculating formula for the backlight brightness adjustment signal of the sub-pixels of each color in each backlight sub-area M is as follows:


AM_P1*PM_ave1=AM_P2*PM_ave2;


2*AM_P*PM_ave=AM_P1*PM_ave1+AM_P2*PM_ave2;

Wherein P represents a target color sub-pixel; M represents a serial number of the backlight sub-area. AM_P1 represents the backlight brightness adjustment signal for performing backlight brightness adjustment on a backlight source of P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the first frame image of the next picture. AM_P2 represents the backlight brightness adjustment signal for performing backlight brightness adjustment on a backlight source of the P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the second frame image of the next picture. PM_ave1 represents an average value of the drive voltages of the P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the first frame image of the current picture. In the present embodiment, since the drive voltage of the sub-pixel is matched with the input signal (i.e., a gray scale value of the corresponding color), the average value of the drive voltages can serve as an evaluation parameter for viewing angle brightness of the color sub-pixels. PM_ave2 represents an average value of the drive voltages of the P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the second frame image of the current picture. AM_P represents the reference backlight brightness signal of the P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the image of the current picture. PM_ave represents the average value of reference drive voltages of the P sub-pixels in the frame image area corresponding to the backlight sub-area M on the image of the current picture. Specifically, PM_ave1=Ave(Pn+Pn+1+Pn+2+ . . . ), n=1, 2, 3 . . . .

In the present embodiment, one pixel of each frame image includes an R sub-pixel, a G sub-pixel and a B sub-pixel. Therefore, correspondingly, it is required to solve the backlight brightness adjusting signals of the backlight source of the sub-pixels of various colors in each backlight sub-area, specifically:

A solving formula for the backlight brightness adjusting signals AM_R1 and AM_R2 of the R sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M is


AM_R1*RM_ave1=AM_R2*RM_ave2;


2*AM_R*RM_ave=AM_R1*RM_ave1+AM_R2*RM_ave2.

A solving formula for the backlight brightness adjusting signals AM_G1 and AM_G2 of the G sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M is


AM_G1*GM_ave1=AM_G2*GM_ave2;


2*AM_G*GM_ave=AM_G1*GM_ave1+AM_G2*GM_ave2.

A solving formula for the backlight brightness adjusting signals AM_B1 and AM_B2 of the B sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M is


AM_B1*BM_ave1=AM_B2*BM_ave2;


2*AM_B*BM_ave=AM_B1*BM_ave1+AM_B2*BM_ave2.

S130 performing independent brightness adjustment on a backlight source of the sub-pixels of various colors in corresponding backlight sub-areas in respective frame images of a next picture according to the backlight brightness adjusting signal of each backlight sub-area.

In the adjusting process, the backlight sources of the R sub-pixels, the G sub-pixels and the B sub-pixels in the corresponding backlight sub-area M of the first frame image in the next picture are independently adjusted according to AM_R1, AM_G1 and AM_B1, and the backlight sources of the R sub-pixels, the G sub-pixels and the B sub-pixels in the corresponding backlight sub-area M of the second frame image in the next picture are independently adjusted according to AM_R2, AM_G2 and AM_B2, such that the compensated picture brightness is same as the picture brightness not compensated by the high and low voltages (i.e., typical driving). By independent backlight source control, the flickering discomfort phenomenon visible to naked eyes caused by a switching difference of the high and low voltages during driving can be reduced, and the defect of color cast caused by mismatch of a large viewing angle refractive index of the liquid crystal display device is effectively improved.

According to the driving method for a liquid crystal display device, each picture is displayed by two frame images in sequence, each frame image is driven by adopting high and low alternate voltage signals, the high and low drive voltages of the first frame image and the second frame image are inverted, and the backlight brightness adjusting signals of one picture are generated according to respective drive voltages to perform independent backlight adjustment on the backlight source of the sub-pixels of various colors in the corresponding backlight sub-areas in the respective frame images of the next picture. According to the above liquid crystal display device, brightness compensation for each backlight sub-area M is supplemented, such that not only is the whole panel brightness maintained to be not different from an uncompensated typical drive brightness, but also a Low color shift viewing angle compensation effect can also be realized, the flickering discomfort phenomenon visible to naked eyes caused by a switching difference of the high and low voltages during the original driving is avoided, and the defect of color cast caused by mismatch of a large viewing angle refractive index of the liquid crystal display device is effectively improved. The above liquid crystal display device can realize cooperative driving in time domain and space domain. Besides, the pixels on the display component do not need to be divided into main and second pixels again, thereby greatly reducing a technological complexity of the display panel, greatly improving a transmittance and a resolution of the liquid crystal display panel, and reducing a backlight design cost.

The calculating unit 744 is configured to solve the backlight brightness adjustment signals according to the average drive voltages, reference backlight brightness signals and reference drive voltages of respective backlight sub-areas. The reference backlight brightness signal refers to the backlight brightness signal when no compensation of high and low voltages (i.e., a typical driving manner) is required. The reference drive voltage refers to the drive voltage of various sub-pixels when no compensation of high and low voltages is performed. Since the backlight source of the sub-pixels of various colors in each sub-area is independently controlled, the backlight brightness adjusting signals of the backlight source corresponding to the sub-pixels of various colors in each sub-area need to be solved. A calculating formula for the backlight brightness adjustment signal of the sub-pixels of each color in each backlight sub-area M is as follows:

In the present embodiment, since the drive voltage of the sub-pixel is matched with the input signal (i.e., a gray scale value of the corresponding color), the average value of the drive voltages can serve as an evaluation parameter for viewing angle brightness of the color sub-pixels. PM_ave2 represents an average value of the drive voltages of the P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the second frame image of the current picture. AM_P represents the reference backlight brightness signal of the P sub-pixels in the backlight sub-area M corresponding to the image of the current picture.

Step S10 acquiring position information of a current sub-pixel and drive data for driving the current sub-pixel.

In specific application, the position information of the current sub-pixel specifically refers to a column number and a row number of the current sub-pixel in the pixel array of the display panel, since the color of each sub-pixel in the pixel array of the display panel is known, the color of the sub-pixel can be known according to the position information of the sub-pixel. The drive data of the sub-pixel specifically refers to data for controlling a drive voltage of the sub-pixel, the drive data of the sub-pixel is configured to realize brightness control over the sub-pixel, and a value of the drive data is in positive correlation with the drive voltage and the brightness.

Step S20 looking up a judging parameter corresponding to the position information in a first parameter lookup table according to the position information.

In the present embodiment, the judging parameter specifically includes a first parameter for representing that the drive data does not need to be compensated and a second parameter for representing that the drive data needs to be compensated.

In specific application, the first parameter may be a value 1 specifically, the second parameter may be a value 0 specifically, and in other embodiments, the first parameter and the second parameter may also be equivalently replaced with other numbers or functions having a same meaning.

In specific application, since a display characteristic of the sub-pixel in each position in the pixel array is known in advance, the display characteristic of the sub-pixel can be known according to a position of the sub-pixel, and further whether the sub-pixel needs to be compensated can be known. In one embodiment, the judging parameter can be looked up by the position information of the sub-pixel, and the first parameter lookup table is the lookup table constructed according to the position information of the sub-pixel and the judging parameter.
